Aquadonut BBQ Boat Hire
Overview
“Aqua Donut” is a floating device with a barbeque station to enable a unique dining experience as one sways along the picturesque area of Docklands. Back in countries like Dubai, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Switzerland, UK, US and Canada such floating vessels, popular as barbeque boats, are a major tourist attraction. At last, Melbournians can indulge in a similar experience a lot closer to home.
You can rent “Aqua Donut” to celebrate a special occasion or organise a touristy event for out-of-towners. You can simply laze around on a beautiful morning or gorge juicy kebabs as the sun goes down
The map displayed in one of the photos is where you can go with your Aqua Donut. From the Start point to the Yellow Buoy, tie up and enjoy the BBQ, and then motor back. Cruising around is not permitted due to safety concerns for our guests.
Please note that we do not allow BBQ use for weather over 40c for safety reasons and customers' comfort. A bond of $500 is required on site.
